UPGRADING THE US ARMY'S ISSUED PLATE CARRIER: MSV (MODULAR SCALABLE VEST) [COOL, HEAT, HYDRATION]
The MSV or Modular Scalable Vest, is the newest standard issue plate carrier of the United States Army. The Army states the goal of the MSV program is to "lighten the load" of the individual soldier. However, the MSV tips the scales at 25 pounds when fully loaded with all protective layers, but this excludes things like ammo, sustainment, etc. While this is five pounds lighter than the previous standard issue body armor, the IOTV, 25 pounds is anything but light. The MSV also covers a significant amount of surface area on the body, no doubt an attempt by the Army to protect Soldier's from the many threats faced on the battlefield (while simultaneously protecting Members of Congress). In this regard, the MSV is no stranger to the challenges faced by all forms of body armor since the dawn of time: protection comes at a cost. In the case of the MSV, that cost is more than just the tab footed by the American taxpayer, it is also the cost paid by the individual solider in weight and heat retention.
Weight and heat combine to be a significant and potentially lethal threat to Soldier's, both individually and collectively. In this video, we present three easy upgrades that every Solider can do to their MSV in a matter of minutes that will both improve comfort by evenly distributing the weight of the MSV and also mitigating some of the heat trapped by the body armor itself.
